[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel declares that when the Spirit comes, he will guide
us into all truth. There is a story I’ve heard about Jean-Luc Marion that,
if it isn’t true, should be. In the midst of a lively lecture on Descartes,
a student asked a pointed question about God. Marion looked at her and
said, "Go to Sunday Mass for a year and then return and ask me that
question again." Marion’s response was not just a clever one-liner. If true
knowledge of God depends upon immersion in the Holy Spirit, then that
knowledge is a function of an entire form of life, involving prayer,
self-denial, the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, and the forgiveness
of one’s enemies. We don’t think our way to an understanding of God so much
as we live our way to it. Thomas Aquinas always said that he owed his
theology far more to the persistence of his prayer than to the acuity of
his mind. His penetration of the divine mystery flowed from his life in the
Holy Spirit. And so today we pray, "Come, Holy Spirit, come!"*
